Mother's care 'best' for children

I'm a touch sceptical about this research. I can't help wondering whether their findings are true simply because the sort of families where the mother can afford to stay at home are the ones where there is probably the most money and the least stress. A wealthy middle class Mum who can afford to stay at home all day (and maybe hire dometic assistance) is self-evidently likely to give her child the most time and attention.
